I get my diaper & mama supplies from Mom's Milk Boutique, and you can too. Is this your first order? Save $10 off your first order of $50 or more with discount code MMB10.

I think you would need more than 40 to just use flips, if washing every 3-4 days. I changed my NB about 15 times a day for the first months she still gets changed about 10. We got poo on the cover at least every other change.

For 2 kids, I would definitely say at least 10 covers and 50 inserts, but more will be easier. For DD I changed a poopy diaper 12x/day for the 1st month, and now at 3 months I'm going through about 6 covers and 18 inserts every 3 days.

Well my first day pack of flips is arriving tomorrow my plan is to buy another daypack everytime the paypal tree is in bloom

I will have to experiment with the prefolds when my day pack comes. I already have 1 dozen preemie prefolds, 1 dozen newborn prefolds, 2 dozen infant prefolds, and 3 dozen premium prefolds so i would like to see if i can get any of those to work before buying flats. I also have a yard of MF terry sitting on the sewing shelf next to 1 yard of Micro Fleece and suedecloth so i know I could fire up the serger.

I wonder how soon my ds will PL. My dd was completely out of diaper by her second birthday. Even overnight. I heard it is a longer and harder process with boys though

I would love to have both kids in the same system and only have one kind of diaper laundry. It was fun building a stash for them both but now I feel like the house is overrun with cds. We have pockets, fitteds, covers, prefolds, wool etc. Everything in so many different sizes!!
